Happy editing! SkyTheWolf (Talk) 19:36, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much! I look forward to this journey. Sharonthomasr (talk) 20:07, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Do you intend on being active on Wikipedia much? If so I would love to help you out here learning the ropes. SkyTheWolf (Talk) 20:16, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, that's really kind. I'm quite familiar with the interface. I used to be a pretty active wiki editor in college but then life took over. Been wanting to get back to it in my free time, not sure how much time I would be able to devote to this but willing to give it as much as I can. It's good to know that you have my back whenever I need help. :) Sharonthomasr (talk) 20:25, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey SkyTheWolf, one of my articles just got rejected and one got accepted despite being very similar. Can you help me out and suggest what changes I can make to get it accepted? It's about this Indian director I really like. Her work focuses on wildlife and feminism, both topics I'm really passionate about so feel she deserves recognition. What do you think? If I'm autoconfirmed now, can I move the page myself?

Thank you so much in advance :)

March 2022[edit]

Hello, I'm Fyrael. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Sushmit Ghosh, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. -- Fyrael (talk) 15:45, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, sure, I'll add a citation. It was one of my first edits here after a long time but I now I'm learning my way around again. Thanks for pointing it out. Sharonthomasr (talk) 03:16, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, No external connection with her. I'm just interested in women in documentary filmmaking and thought she is an inspiring leader who deserves recognition. :) Sharonthomasr (talk) 23:52, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Gunjan Menon moved to draftspace[edit]

It appears that you may have a conflict of interest with the subject of Gunjan Menon, and as such you should submit this article to be published through the Articles for Creation process. Before editing the article further, please first disclose on your user page and on the article's Talk page whether you have received money to write this or other articles on Wikipedia, or if you have any other kind of conflict of interest concerning the subject. I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. Before submitting, you should make sure that the article is fully compliant with Wikipedia’s neutrality and verifiability policies, as well as our notability guidelines. When you’re ready, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. This process is encouraged, but optional. If you choose not to participate in it, you can remove the AfC template and move the article back to mainspace. You should also consider reaching out to the Teahouse for additional feedback and aid from experienced editors. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 05:19, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thanks for you concern however, there's no conflict of interest. You can have a look at the other articles I've edited and created. I tend to focus on women in films to highlight their work. Have written it based on research, videos and interviews available online. Sharonthomasr (talk) 06:58, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Green Hub India moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Green Hub India, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

The article did not have any references, and the organization did not have any claim of importance or significance. ✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 11:51, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ahhh, you were a bit too early to do this, just a few seconds after you did this, I published the changes with references but because of the cross, lost everything! I was in the middle of an edit Thanks though, I was trying to move it to drafts but wasn't able to and got published. Will have to work on putting all the references and changes in the article agaaaaain aaaaaah! Sharonthomasr (talk) 12:38, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
